Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a brand on you?
When you change with every new day,
boy, I'm gonna miss you!

When Ruby Tuesday decided to update their restaurants, they decided to kill everything about the brand while at it. Ruby Tuesday will no longer be the American old sportsbar/restaurant with hamburgers so thick and juice you have to stick a knife through the whole burger to keep it together.

It's colorful, comfortable, warm and inviting. And we're pleased to say you'll be seeing it for yourself in the months to come, as Ruby Tuesdays across America get a fresh new look, inside and out.

The moment you pull into the parking lot, you'll know it's a whole new Ruby Tuesday. Inside, the pleasing, inviting atmosphere is inspired by the fresh, high-quality food we're bringing you every day, from handcrafted burgers made with the finest ingredients to our unrivaled Fresh Garden Bar.

Most important, every last detail of the new design - every knife and fork, painting and plate - is our way of showing and sharing the quality, passion and pride that inspires us to be your gracious hosts.
Welcome to your new Ruby Tuesday.

If I go to Ruby, i'll go for a burger and a beer, not a fricking salladbar.

Whopper freakout

It would be very interesting to see how the swedes relate to Burger King and McDonalds in that sense. Don't think they would be that upset, and definitely not start to quote the slogan "home of the whopper".

1000 frames of Hitchcock

Hitchcocks legacy is saved and kept for the future generations at the Hitchcock wiki. One of the projects is the "1000 frames of hitchcock", a virtual goldmine of screenshots from Hitckcocks films.
